Installing Guayadeque

You can install Guayadeque from different sources. You can install from a PPA (Personal Package Archives), from source code directly, from subversion repository or from your distribution package. We are going to cover only the ones we support :

Installing from PPA :

This is the easiest method to install Guayadeque as you only need to add the source of the repository and use your preferred package manager to add the program.
If you want to do it from the command line you just need to do

Also notice in the ppa there are two versions: guayadeque and guayadeque-svn. The package guayadeque is only updated with stable releases and guayadeque-svn is updated more often but can be more unstable.

Installing from git :

Why install from git? Because the git provides the most up to date version with the latest corrections and improvements made by the developer. This way you can help by testing and providing bug reports to the ongoing project. However, be aware that this is a bleeding-edge version that can sometimes introduce new bugs.

The first step we need to do is install the development tools we will use to build the executable. To do so, open a terminal and type

sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake gettext

Once this have been installed we need to install the development dependencies needed by Guayadeque.To install them you need to run

[enter password]
change directories[cd] to wherever the uncompressed files are
once there run

cmake .
make
make install

Guayadeque is then ready to use
open
set path to library
enjoy

Installing in Fedora Linux :

Guayadeque is not yet available in the Fedora repositories. You can install Guayadeque by building from source code or via SVN following the instructions at the top of this page. The dependencies listed there use Debian/Ubuntu package names though, so you will first need to install the dependencies using YUM.

Open a terminal and become root by entering the following.

su
your_password

Now install the packages needed for building software from source by entering

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

Now install the rest of the packages needed to build Guayadeque. Copy the following and paste into your terminal.

You are now ready to build Guayadeque by following the instructions at the top of this page using SVN or by directly downloading the source code. In either case, skip the section on dependencies. During the build process, you may notice an error complaining that libindicate was not found. This is a package for the Ubuntu message window. Guayadeque will build and run fine on Fedora without it.

Now we have Guayadeque built and installed in our system. To start it go to Applications > Sound & Video > Guayadeque Music Player.
